Joint Chambers Lunch with The Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP, Premier of New South Wales

SOLD OUT

The Australian British Chamber of Commerce, The American Chamber of Commerce in Australia, the French Australian Chamber of Commerce, and the German-Australian Chamber of Industry and Commerce, are proud to present the NSW Premier, The Hon. Gladys Berejiklian MP, in her inaugural address to Sydney’s International Business Community.

The Premier will be addressing ‘The NSW Boom and How Trade Will Benefit the State’. New South Wales is in an enviable position. In 2015-16 New South Wales enjoyed economic growth of 3.5 per cent, outpacing every other state and territory in Australia.

The outlook remains strong. Business investment, public infrastructure and dwelling construction are all exhibiting strength, lifting construction activity and employment in the State to record levels. Service exports are also contributing strongly to economic growth, underpinned by overseas visitors and international student enrolments.

The NSW economy will continue to benefit from low interest rates, a lower Australian dollar, strong demand from Asia, above trend population growth and an historically large infrastructure and residential construction pipeline. The key drivers of growth in the near term are forecast to be overseas exports, dwelling investment and public capital expenditure.
